After a long moment of silence, Yu Rou finally spoke.
"Let's say, for argument's sake, that I believe you. Are you saying that I'm currently being manipulated by an Eternal? If so, what is their purpose? What do they stand to gain?"
Yuan shook his head. "That, I don't know."
"Then let me tell you what I do know. Our city is what it is today because of this Eternal. It didn't merely warn us about the inevitable invasion—it also prepared us for it."
"It taught us about cultivation and even gave us the system, allowing our civilization to advance at an incredible pace. Before receiving the Eternal's guidance, our world was nowhere near this advanced. Hell, we didn't even know cultivation existed."
Yu Rou released a deep sigh before continuing, "I don't know what you've experienced, nor whether you're even telling the truth, but I believe that whatever is behind me is not taking advantage of us."
